DGAK (Professional Kinesiologists in Germany)
In February 2000 DGAK established a professional apprenticeship. The group of developers was comprised of owners of institutes and “normal” members. The content is based on personal development and self-improvement for the client. The achieved knowledge is about pedagogy, communication, psychology, stress reduction, health prevention. They created a three-year apprenticeship divided in three parts. After the last exam the participant completed/will complete 600 kinesiology hours in classroom training and an additional minimum of 600 hours of self-studying.
At the moment there are five institutes in Germany offering this DGAK apprenticeship.
The DGAK creates and monitors the apprenticeship and is part of every final exam with one DGAK
auditor. After the exam the examinee has the opportunity to be DGAK member Level 3 BK-DGAK. BK
(Begleitende Kinesiologie) DGAK shows the high degree of the three-year apprenticeship.

a. Self-improvement, personal development, new ways of pedagogy and therapeutically alternative ways plus health prevention are booming so there is definitely a future of our methodn
